"She can shield herself and others, repelling physical attacks and confusing the attacker and making him forget his purpose."

Contents

Description

It mainly works by making the attacker temporarily forget her or his intentions and motivations and go the other way. Eleazar has mentioned that she can project her shield several meters out from herself to protect those of her priority. The force she uses is almost unnoticeable.

Renata, of the Volturi guard, shows it in protection of Aro, and she needs to be physically in contact with him in order to fully protect him with her gift. On occasion, she includes Marcus and Caius in her shield.

Limitations

This power is more restricted than Bella Swan's. As, like many abilities, it is mental, it does not influence Bella and those she protects.

History

Origin

Renata's gift is manifested by her desire to protect her family from pursuers as a human.

During the confrontation, Renata clings her hand on Aro's shoulder, ready to repel anyone who wants to harm him.

Similar abilities

Afton possesses the power to shield himself from pursuers, making them think that he is invisible. However, his power is much more restrained in that he can only shield himself, and that his power can be easily broken through by someone with a sharp focus.

Bella Swan shows the power to shield herself and others from powers that affect the mind, such as mind reading, illusion or any sort of intrusion to the mind. Since Renata's power works on a mental basis, she can probably be rendered powerless by Bella's shield.

Fred has the ability of physical repulsion that causes a person to not be able to look at him making him, in a sense, invisible to that person.
